Australia Level: 9000

Just a reminder that mifepristone is incredibly safe and has been approved by the FDA for a quarter of a century. You can purchase medication abortion (mifepristone and misoprostol) online and have it shipped to your home through @aidaccess.bsky.social. Mifepristone has a shelf life of 5 years.

I wrote about the incredible collection of modernist architecture in Chatham commissioned by Black professionals looking to make their mark on Chicago in the midcentury

I’m a broadcaster. When I do an election night with 343 ridings x 3-5 candidates per riding - I put in the time to make sure I pronounce each candidate’s name correctly. Apple TV guys have 18 starters in Jays v Rays and can’t get Lukes right. #DanAndBuck

I also am in my 50s and am tired! I recognize all this for what it is; someone who is past active public service.

Considering all the challenges our city is facing, we need everyone on Council at public decision making tables, big and small. Motions. Debates. Decisions. Those are the things we need to sort out. Clear your schedule. Make it a priority.

I think it’s important to talk about what Mayors do. As far as I can tell, the focus is on formalities, closed door meetings, ribbon cuttings, photo ops, and banquet dinners. It should be more about committee and board work. That’s where the decisions get made. That’s where the work gets done.

This resignation comes just ahead of discussions around the annual $245m budget. Apart from the fact the Mayor doesn’t have a good attendance record at the Board, I don’t get it. She sits on the fewest number of committees of any Council member. Scheduling conflicts are within her control. #HamOnt

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her. Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken. Rest Free, Assata.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you. Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

One of these days we're going to hear a world leader say Viktor Orbán, I'm coming after you you pussy and I am calling on the world to join me. This guy's the flimsiest paper tiger and it drives me nuts that someone like Biden, who didn't have to give a fuck, didn't make him hit the skids

this is why new mexico got free universal childcare

I absolutely believe that Michael Jordan WON a bet, and a very large one, by wearing a toothbrush moustache in a television commercial

Me, seeing Alex Jones’ photo

The new @courtwatch.bsky.social is tremendous, well worth it. This pro se litigant blowing up the Securities and Exchange Commission's lawyer (who was not a lawyer, as she was under a discipline suspension when his hearing was conducted) is fantastic: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A person to me yesterday: “Would you like some peaches from my tree? They have some bad spots, and the pits aren’t cling-free?” I take the peaches home and I start to realize that beautiful things often show up with seeming rough spots and requiring effort to see them. May I have eyes to see today.

lmaoooooo Alex Jones, who according to court evidence has a primary sexual interest in men having sex with men, is encouraging his cult to grow toothbrush moustaches with a ridiculous story about how it made his bulbous, reeking body irresistible to women

They found the generous guy from last night’s a game!

This is the most important principle in political activism and I see it wrecked and pissed on by activists every day.

gotta get me on the cnn payroll as an arithmetic expert 💵💵💵🤑

It’s truly baffling to me that so many of these stories focus on “wow big fish” and not “this is an IUCN Red List Critically Endangered species that is extremely physiologically fragile and often does not survive fishing practices like this” www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-t... 🦑🧪🌎🦈🐠

some truly effed up allegations in this lawsuit filed against James Dolan/MSG: using facial recognition tech/running background checks on fans who shouted "sell the team"; spying on a trans woman because ownership was concerned she was too friendly w/the Knicks cdn.pacermonitor.com/public/case/...

Legendary golfer, accused insider trader and QAnon weirdo Phil Mickelson keeps melting down in my replies at X over an oil stock he is bagholding while the company gets charged with countless environmental crimes, repeatedly implying that he has MNPI. He keeps deleting them and then blocked me lol

I'm gonna, as is my wont, range around a bit here via quote tweets with additional thoughts. When I say I don't see particular problems I mean that the things and social structures we want to make and build require the same investment. Nothing gets easier to make under socialism! Same challenges!

Bennett Tomlin had made a good post asking for more left insight on matters related to money supply, central banking, and "foreign aid" (meaning government-to-government aid and in-country direct projects) and how they connect to socialist politics. Post is gone, RIP, my thoughts remain.

People are shocked when I tell them I was making $72k a year as a tax analyst for an industry-leading software vendor and only managed to lateral into a client institution because a guy on Twitter knew from my tax shitposting in 2018 that I'd be great at the job. This is not a replicable strategy!

It will never cease to enrage me that Biden broke every law in the book to do a genocide, but wouldn't lift a finger even within the law to rein in the power of the administration or the coming of the Trump takeover. To his very last day in office he tried to vastly expand Presidential power.

Yeah. If you take power with an announcement you don't care about anyone you cannot then claim you were trying very hard, actually. It's like I was saying the other day: reasons matter (and they matter a lot in law)

There are many odd pathways in music history but the one where Phil Collins became an all time great Motown singer is one of them

As soon as I heard black student found hanged in the middle of campus at Delta State (which is in Cleveland, the blackest heart of the delta) and that an immediate announcement had been made by cops that no foul play was even suspected, I knew there would be other deaths. There were.

Born #onthisday in 1889, CK Scott Moncrieff, whose epic English translation of Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu is widely hailed as a masterpiece in its own right. His rendering of the title is not, however, considered a high point... publicdomainreview.org/essay/l... #otd

I mean OK, but there were white people who started treating South Africa as it deserved in the 1960s and there were white people who didn't do that until the 1980s, and it was the latter who fucking swung what happened. Let's all treat Israel like apartheid South Africa!

I said this on Twitter like four years ago and everyone got so mad at me lol www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

"Their Jewish agents," the Stop Antisemitism account thundered

I forgot how unhinged this account was. My god.

Audrey is right. I think the reflexive cringe from liberals, waiting for the death blow they thirst for, from the conservatives that they (and they alone) respect, treated the Kirk assassination as the last light going out before the blade dropped. But like Kirk, it was nothing and nothing backs it:

Canadian Food Inspection Agency: "Kill the ostriches" Common Sense: "Kill the ostriches" Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

I guess what bugs me is that Canadian courts are starting to take the deferential/service model of "litigant service" to extremes, where bad faith consistently triumphs over good because we treat everyone's claims equally; this is bad enough at courts of first instance but in appeals, unconscionable

GIANT BABY CAUGHT AND TRAPPED IN LOCAL HOSPITAL

This is not a romance. Nobody is "in love" with apps. There are no A.I. boyfriends. You cannot "date" a chatbot. Accepting this framing and treating it as real is tech-industry propaganda. slate.com/technology/2...

New @ SABR: Not only did Robinson Canó become the 22nd player confirmed to reach 4,000 professional hits, days later we confirmed #23. Vinicio García played his last game 55 years ago and died in 2007, but we finally found hit #4000 for the 1954 Oriole. Here’s the story. sabr.org/research/art...

Justice Barrett is at the @scotusblog.com Summit today. If we were to ask her a question, here's what it would be: You say you want Americans to "read the opinion" to get a better sense of what #SCOTUS does. Agreed. But there are countless things the justices do that aren't in opinions. (1/2)

Labour really love "detecting potholes" as an excuse for various technologies that are clearly unrelated to the quite easy job of pothole detection. A while back they were saying "AI" could be used for this, with no explanation of where the up-to-date photos of every square metre of road come from.

He needs to touch grass but unfortunately he's stuck in a very high chair.

One thing we're seeing is that ordinarily competent conservative people, and there are many people like this even in and around MAGA, are seething about how cackhanded the Trump orbit is

genuinely surprised how many MAGA people have been critical of this www.thedailybeast.com/keystone-kas...

Hahahaha sure enough basically woke up in a fury over the idiotic ostrich cult
